Über diesen Titel

 Concluding the AGE OF MADNESS trilogy, THE WISDOM OF CROWDS brings the series which is revolutionising fantasy to its stunning conclusion. . .

Chaos. Fury. Destruction.
The Great Change is upon us . . .
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.

With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies . . . while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance.
The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together . . . Action & Abenteuer Epic Fantasy Fantasy Historisch

Kritikerstimmen

In book three of this dazzlingly gruesome and gripping cycle, Joe Abercrombie does politics much as he handles everything else: with a clear-eyed understanding of the limits of human kindness and the banal depths of evil.
Joe Abercrombie is doing some terrific work
No one writes with the seismic scope or primal intensity of Joe Abercrombie
Delightfully twisted and evil
Witty, Bloody and fun
A vivid and jolting tale
I had a blast with this trilogy.
Bravo, Joe Abercrombie; the bar for grimdark fantasy has been raised again. And you, Lord Grimdark, remain absolute as one of the greatest fantasy authors of all time
A cutting satire of political revolution with wonderfully dark humor and a grim mess of an outcome that will leave you wanting more. 9 out of 10.
The Wisdom of Crowds is Abercrombie at his best. It's fun, it's engrossing, it's brutal on its characters in all the best ways, and it's just a damned enjoyable way to spend a few days glued to the pages of a book
Thoroughly recommended - a definite book of the year
This is not just your average good third volume of a decent fantasy trilogy; this is the stunningly ambitious final section of what was clearly originally conceived and planned as a single, unified work of art. Not only do the plotlines, themes and narrative devices of the trilogy cohere into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts but they also speak to a second age of madness: the one we currently live in.
Bloodily brilliant...This is fantasy as it should be, with blood, guts and broken bones felt on every page.

Thrilling and fitting finale of the second trilogy. Reminds one very much of the ending of the the blade trilogy. The delivery is slightly lamer than, but still around the best stories you can spend your money on!

Nice ending for the trilogy

No need for a spoiler warning. If you, dear reader, have come so far in this epic saga - it will not surprise you in the slightest that this is a bloody masterpiece. Nobody is save because of his or her plot armor (love that & was shattered one time in particular). The conversations are alive - every character has a soul and a taste - and they are funny.
5 out of 5 Stars for the Story - the reader and 6 out of 5 for Joe Abercrombie.
Very well done.

I have listened to all the audiobooks now.

Zunächst hat sich diese Serie anders angefühlt als die davor, aber dann war es nur noch gut auf eine dunkle, übele Art. Brilliant!

Fesselnde Erzählung!

Like the whole series, it's a good story and good pacing and good(some might think a bit too many) twists. The trilogy as a whole concludes neatly at the end and leaves lots of room for interesting and exciting continuation at the same time.
Steven Pacey is awesome as always.
Unfortunately, it keeps up the feminist undertone of the two previous books. With very few exceptions, men are all weak, stupid, useless idiots or brutish thugs, who, in any case, have to be lead by women or everything goes to shits.
Again, very disappointing that Joe Abercrombie had to go down that way, why?

Women are awesome, men are bad or idiots or both

If you're an Abercrombie fan, this book is an absolute must. Pacey's narration is also as fantastic as ever.

As good as or better than ever
